Recent Transaction Strengthens Capabilities and Reach of Leading Power Protection Company
KOHLER, Wis. – May 2, 2017 – KOHLER Co. has acquired Pure Power Systems, a Dublin-based independent suppliers of UPS systems and uninterruptible power supplies service provider. The transaction will see Pure Power Systems become part of KOHLER’s successful UK-based UPS servicing and sales company – KOHLER Uninterruptible Power (KUP).

Jackson and all other current employees will continue to lead and manage Pure Power Systems following the acquisition. “We’re excited about this new chapter in our company’s story,” Jackson said.
“KUP is owned by KOHLER Co., which brings us together with the company’s other leading power-industry brands, including KOHLER Uninterruptible Power Systems, SDMO, Clarke Energy, and – of course – KUP. We believe this is a very promising development for our customers and employees alike and we’re now well positioned for continued success and a new level of growth here in Ireland.”
“Pure Power Systems is a highly reputable UPS company and will be an excellent addition to the KOHLER family,” said David Renton, Managing Director for KUP. “We’ve partnered with Pure Power for nearly a decade, so we’re very familiar with the company’s deep technical uninterruptible power supplies expertise as well as the unmatched, locally-based UPS maintenance service they provide. This acquisition will allow us to give our data centre UPS and other power protection customers throughout Ireland and the UK access to an enhanced offering of uninterruptible power supply products, UPS servicing, care and maintenance of UPS systems.”
